How is my Internet quota deducted?

How CelcomDigi determines Quota Deduction:


For CelcomDigi, quota deduction depends on the type of quota/plan you’re on. Here’s the general priority/order of deduction:

Quota type / Add-on type

When it’s used / Deduction order

Promotional freebies / bonus quota

First, if you have free data from promo or campaign, any eligible internet use uses this first.

Internet add-ons / boosters / extra quota (one-time or recurring)

Next, if you bought extra quota (top-up, booster, or monthly add-on), data consumption will come from this.

Special quotas for hotspot / social/streaming/gaming / shared-line quota (if applicable)

For certain add-ons, if you use hotspot/tethering or social, streaming, or gaming apps, the usage will be deducted from the dedicated quota for that add-on first before your base quota is used.

Shared Internet quota (for supplementary lines in a family/shared plan)

If your line is under a supplementary line (in a shared plan), data usage draws from the shared quota of the “principal” line before anything else.

Base Internet quota (plan-bundled quota)

Finally, after exhausting freebies, add-ons, special quota, and shared quota — usage draws from the base quota that comes with your postpaid or prepaid subscription.


What this means depending on your plan type:

ScenarioHow Quota Is Used
Promotional / bonus data (e.g. free quota from a campaign)Used first.
Extra / top-up data (e.g. add-on, booster, top-up)Used next, after promotional/bonus data is exhausted.
Special add-ons (e.g. social/streaming/gaming unlimited add-on, hotspot quota, or usage-specific pass)Usage under that category is deducted from the corresponding quota first.
Shared / family-line plansData usage may tap into the shared pool (principal line’s quota) first, especially if you are on a supplementary line.
Base plan quotaOnce all the above are used, data consumption comes out of your base plan quota (bundled with your postpaid or prepaid plan).
Important Notes: • All unlimited plans and passes are subject to a Fair Usage Policy (FUP). After reaching the FUP limit, your speed may be reduced, but you will stay connected and continue using the internet without interruption.  • If you run out of quota on all tiers (promotional, add-on, base), you can purchase a top-up or new pass to continue using high-speed data.
